Sign XML to Create P7S

See more CAdES Examples

Demonstrates how to sign XML to create a P7S. Dart

void main() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final crypt = CkCrypt2();

    cert.loadPfxFile('qa_data/pfx/cert_test123.pfx', 'test123');

  // The CadesEnabled property applies to all methods that create PKCS7 signatures. 
  // To create a CAdES-BES signature, set this property equal to true. 
  crypt.cadesEnabled = true;

  // We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7s as output.
  // The .p7s contains the signature and also embeds the data of the file that is signed.

  final p7sFile = 'qa_output/sample1.xml.p7s';

  // Create the CAdES-BES attached signature, which contains the original data.
  // Note: Chilkat's function naming is not accurate.  CreateP7M creates a PKCS7 signature where the signed file
  // is contained within the signature.  CreateP7S creates a detached PKCS7 signature where the signed file
  // is NOT contained within the signature.  We want the data to be contained in the signature, therefore
  // we call CreateP7M even though we are naming our output file .p7s.
  try {
    crypt.createP7M(inFile, p7sFile);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
